DENVER — Nearly a week after the Denver City Council delayed a key vote on Mayor Mike Johnston’s affordable housing sales tax proposal, it was back before council members Tuesday.
But it’s clear some council members are still unsatisfied with what they’ve heard and remain skeptical of the mayor’s plan. But before it can go to voters, it must first pass the city council. Some council members have raised concerns about a sales tax increase's impact on working-class families. Council member Paul Kashmann wants assurances that the money will be spent on those with the greatest need, even after the current mayor leaves office.
By comparison, Denver Health’s CEO Donna Lynne told Denver7 in June that they spent nine months working with stakeholders on their proposal before presenting it to the city council. They also conducted polling.
